Life-cycle cost analysis of energy efficiency design options for residential furnaces and boilers. Energy, 31(2), pp.311-329.Lutz, J., Lekov, A., Chan, P., Whitehead, C. D., Meyers, S. and McMahon (2006), Life- Cycle Cost Analysis of Energy Efficiency Design Options for Residential...
Start SAVING on your FUEL BILL with the leading energy efficient gas and oil boiler and hot water system. Energy Kinetics' commercial and residential boilers are high quality and backed by the industry's best warranty.
Efficient automated driving technology to improve upon human driving behaviour offer a promising pathway to energy and fuel savings. Here, authors analyse real-world data to determine how adaptive cruise control affects fuel consumption and identify specific driving situations where it can be optimized....
China has enacted Electric Heating Policy to substitute electricity for in-home combustion for rural residential heating. Here the authors show that this shift would greatly increase national carbon emissions by 101.69–162.89 megatons in 2015 while impeding China’s carbon mitigation process in the fu...
2007 USA Zero-energy Building An energy-efficient building, for which the actual annual delivered source energy is less than or equal to the on-site renewable exported energy. DOE (2015) 2007 UK Zero-Carbon Home Net CO2 emissions from all energy consumption in residential buildings are zero. ...
This study aims to provide detailed information on the key technologies that utilize renewables for decarbonization and electrification of the residential
(Vávrová et al.,2018). When it comes to the use of biomass, it is especially important to focus on efficient biomass combustion boilers ‘in the context of synergy between the goals of a national climate policy and the clean air policy’ (Kudrenickis & Klavs,2014, p. 23). Indeed,...

InJaegemar (1996)energy efficiency is defined as: “Energy efficiency is a measure of the balance between the energy gained and the sacrifice necessary to bring about this gain.” An energy-efficient system is thus a system that provides its function with the lowest possible energy use at reas...
The rest of paper is organised as follows: the "Barriers to energy efficiency" offers an analysis of the barriers to the wider use of efficient HVAC systems, with a partic- ular focus on non-residential buildings. The "Methodol- ogy" section describes the survey and the econometric model. ...
